"The reason is that young people today maintain unscientific living habits such as being lazy, eating less fiber, not drinking enough water, drinking alcohol, eating a lot of processed foods, using spicy foods... leading to stimulating intestinal motility, digestive disorders, constipation..., thereby increasing pressure on the anorectal area, gradually leading to hemorrhoids", Dr. Ta Anh Tuan - Director of Hoan My Saigon Hospital, shared at the recent seminar on applying laser technology in treating hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids are one of the most common anorectal diseases today, occurring due to many causes. Among them, there is excessive dilation and hypertrophy of hemorrhoidal venous plexus in the anal-rectal area.

This is also one of the common diseases in all ages. Patients often feel hesitant to go for a check-up because this is a sensitive area, delaying treatment, leading to other dangerous diseases such as polyps, tumors, ulcers in the anal rectum area...
According to Dr. Tuan Anh, office workers are at high risk of getting sick, due to the nature of their work requiring them to sit a lot, have little exercise, and have prolonged stress and an unbalanced diet.
Hemorrhoids do not directly threaten life, but greatly affect the quality of life. Patients often have to endure burning pain, bleeding, hemorrhoid prolapse, causing inconvenience in daily life and work. It is worth mentioning that because it is not dangerous, many people have a subjective mentality, only going to the hospital when the disease is severe.
According to the latest recommendations of the Vietnam Colorectal Association, the application of laser in hemorrhoid surgery is an optimal treatment solution to help reduce post-operative symptoms, increase patient satisfaction, and significantly improve the quality of life after treatment. This method is indicated for patients with grade 2 and 3 internal hemorrhoids with symptoms that do not improve with medical treatments.
The mistake in treating hemorrhoids is to abandon or self-treat.
"Compared to before, there are now a number of minimally invasive surgical methods for treating hemorrhoids, including laser surgery. This method has many advantages such as being minimally invasive, limiting damage to surrounding tissue, low complication rate, almost no risk of infection or anal obstruction, short surgery time (only 30 - 60 minutes), patients can be discharged early and return to work after 1 day", Dr. Tuan Anh shared.
One of the biggest mistakes in treating hemorrhoids is self-treatment or abandoning treatment. Although hemorrhoids can be treated effectively, if you do not follow your doctor's instructions or change your lifestyle, the possibility of recurrence is very high, even after surgery.
"Therefore, it is important that after treatment, patients need to have regular check-ups, follow the regimen, maintain a healthy lifestyle, including eating lots of green vegetables, drinking enough water, and doing regular light exercise," Dr. Tuan Anh recommended.
